" [Let your] conduct [be] without covetousness; [be] content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  Hebrews 13:5 NKJV

Gospel singer Byron Cage wrote timeless lyrics stating, “There is a name, Blessed name, Oh Jesus, There is a name!”Let’s take a closer look at the name of Jesus!

Messias

“We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ” (John 1:41).

True Vine

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman” (John 15:1).

Branch

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth” (Jeremiah 23:5).

Bridegroom

“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled” (John 3:29).

Dayspring

“Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:78–79).

Shiloh

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” (Genesis 49:10).

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” (Revelations 5:5).

The Bright and Morning Star

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” (Revelations 22:16).

To God Be The Glory for the mighty, soul saving, blessed name of Jesus. The most powerful name in all of heaven and earth. May we forever bless His holy name!

In preparation for our Annual Church meeting to be held in December, all members are encouraged to attend a Church Forum, Saturday, November 2nd from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon.

The forum is NOT a church meeting but a time for conversation. The forum will afford an opportunity for members to ask questions and respectfully discuss concerns regarding our church. Please place your topics, suggestions, and questions in the wooden suggestion box located near the pulpit area prior to the forum or raise them from the floor during the forum.

During today's worship service our Breast Cancer Survivors were recognized and presented with a decorative gift bag and a sash to commemorate their survival of Breast Cancer. Dr. Alyce Emerson and Sister Phyllis Bates presided over the recognition ceremony.

The following Breast Cancer Survivors were recognized:

Sisters Gloria Conner (22 years), Jackie Maupin (11 years), Jewell Morton (15 years), Marian Hall (10 years), Charlie Peoples Brown, Patricia Leavell ( 9 months), and Thelma White ( 3 months)

Thank you for your trust in us and giving us the opportunity to look for our interim pastor. We want you to know your voice matters in every step of this process whether in person or virtually.

This includes suggestions, questions and any other concerns regarding this process. Every submission will remain confidential and only members of the committee will have access. Any physical submissions can be put in the ballot boxes located on either side of the pulpit and these boxes will remain locked. If you need help with anything please reach out any of the committee members. Again the email is askpleas@outlook.com and thank you for your continuous prayers and support.

FLU

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.

Flu shots are available at local pharmacies. Consult your physician regarding a flu vaccination.

RSV

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common, contagious virus that usually causes mild symptoms. In older adults and adults with certain underlying conditions, RSV can cause severe infections.

RSV shots are available at local pharmacies. Consult your physician regarding a RSV vaccination.

COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the disease and how the virus spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by staying at least 1 metre apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently. Get vaccinated when it’s your turn and follow local guidance.

The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols. It is important to practice respiratory etiquette, for example by coughing into a flexed elbow, and to stay home and self-isolate until you recover if you feel unwell.

Both COVID vaccines and Booster COVID vaccines are available at local pharmacies. Consult your physician regarding COVID vaccinations.
